WRAPPER FOR FOOD PRODUCTS.

Application filed February 4, 1927. Serial 165,563.

This invention-relates to an improvement in a. wrap er for food products, particularly such protiiicts as butter, and has for its object to provide a form of package or wrapper which will be entirely sanitary and which'will'advertise the prod-I uct'at' all times whether the wrapper is completely in position about the product or whether it is partly torn away or folded back.

With these objects and such other objects as may hereinafter appear, in view, I have devised the particular arrangement of parts hereinafter set forth andmore particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto Reference is to be had to theaccompany'.

a part hereof 1n ihg drawing, forming which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a package in which my improved wrapper is used; Figure 2 is a perspectiveview showing the wrapper folded out flat and acting as a protective support for a cake of butter, cheese or similar product;

Figure 3 is a viewof the outer side of the inner wrapper.

Throu bout the various views of the drawings, re erence characters of the same denominations designate similar parts.

.As was heretofore stated, m 'improved wrapper is particularly inten ed for useupon such food products as butter, cheese and the like, from which pieces are successively cut and sold. In 'other words, prodlar e cakes, which are kept upon a counter or m a show case, usually-covered by glass,

' and small portions are cut of! as required by the purchaser. Such products have been heretofore sold with wrappers which are usually removed when the 'package is first opened and in most instances, these wrappers are used as a protective support on top of a show case, counter or the like to keep 7 cheese orv the like facturer or dealer such as is disclosed at 4.

ucts of these kinds are generally sold in.

ingmatter to be readlly read as clearly as paper or an like material. The outer covermg 3, whic 1 fits over and encloses the inner covering is preferably composed of some opaque material, such as tin foil or the like. The outer covering 3 may if desired bear printed advertising of the name of the manu- Thus when the package is in its wrapped condition as is disclosed in Figure l, the

name of the manufacturer of the product clearly appears on the exterior wrapper. The inner wrapper which is of substantially transparent material is also provided with the name of the manufacturer or producer" as is disclosed at 5 and this name or other advertising matter is preferably printed on the outer'face of the innerwrapper so that the ink is not brought into actual contact with the food product and an entirely sani may package is provided.

he printed matter or advertising 5 which appears on the inner wrapper 2 is preferably printed in reverse form on the outer face of the inner wrap er as is clearly disclosed in Figure 3, so t .at when a merchant upon purchasing the package unwraps wrappers and spreads the same out fiat with the inner wrapper u permost, the name or advertising matter 0 the manufacturer appears in properposition to be read. The wrapper 2 being transparent or sufliciently so to read (the advertising matter therethrough, readily permits such advertising matter to be read when the package is opened and in the position disclosed in Figure 2.

It will be seen from the-foregoing that an entirely sanitary package has been provided since while the inner wrap er bears advertiQ'ng matter, the ink which Forms the printing is on the exterior face of the inner wrap er and does not contact with the butter, 0 eese or the like. Despite this, all of the advantages of printin the advertising matter on the inner face'o the inner wrapper are attained, since the inner wrapper being transparent, it permits the advertisthough the same were printed directly on the inner face of the inner wrapper. 7

While I have stated that my improved wrapping is intended for use upon utter, cheese, and like products, it can be used upon 10 many grocery products such as-bread and many other similar packages which can be properly wrapped in the manner disclosed herein.

Having described my invention, what I claim is:

1. An article of the class described comprising a wrapper having an outer covering and an inner covering, said inner covering being composed of transparent material having printed matter in reverse form on its outer face whereby said printed matter is properly readable when viewed from the inner face of said inner covering.

2. An article of the class described comprising a wrapping for food products, said wrapping being composed of transparent material and having advertising matter printed in reverse form on its outer face.

3. An article of the class described comprising a wrapping for food products consisting of an inner wrapper and an outer wrapper, said outer wrapper being composed of opaque material, said inner wrapper being composed of transparent material and bearing advertising matter printed in reverse form on its outer face.

4. A wrapper for food products, composed of a sheet of transparent paper having advertising matter printed on its outer face in reverse form whereby said advertising matter is properly readable when viewed from the inner side of said wrap er and the ink producing said advertising matter is prevented from contacting with the food product.
